New Datalog-based system enforces formal policies for agentic AI security

Researchers have developed a novel approach to enhance the security of agentic computing systems by implementing formal policy enforcement at runtime. This method allows users to define policies using Datalog, which are then monitored and enforced as agents attempt to execute actions. The system constructs event graphs to determine if an action would violate the specified policy based on the current system state and historical events, blocking any violations. This work aims to create agentic systems that are provably safe and secure. AI

IMPACT Introduces a method for provably safe and secure agentic systems, addressing critical security concerns in AI development.
